Abstract: The present invention is directed to a much safer and less expensive way of providing portable oxygen from a gas concentrator for patients who do not want to be tied to a stationary machine or restricted by present oxygen technology. The present invention involves a home liquid oxygen ambulatory system for supplying a portable supply of oxygen, where a portion of the gaseous oxygen output obtained from an oxygen concentrator is condensed into liquid oxygen. The system includes an oxygen concentrator which separates oxygen gas from the ambient air, a condenser in communication with the oxygen concentrator for receiving and liquefying the oxygen gas flow, a cryocooler associated with the condenser, and a first storage dewar in fluid communication with the condenser and adapted to store the oxygen liquefied by the condenser, the first storage dewar including means for transferring liquid oxygen from the first dewar to a second dewar for storing a quantity of oxygen suitable for moveable oxygen treatment.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a self-contained miniature biosensor designed to detect specific molecular targets, and in particular polypeptides and polynucleotides. For example, hybridized nucleic acids may be detected without external monitoring or signal transmission. The miniaturized biosensor comprises multiple biological sensing elements such as DNA probes, excitation microlasers, a sampling waveguide equipped with optical detectors (fluorescence and Raman), integrated electro-optics, and a biotelemetric radio frequency signal generator all contained on a single integrated circuit, or "biochip." The novel integrated circuit biochip microsystem (ICBM) is suitable for gene analysis and will allow rapid, large-scale, and cost-effective production of biochips useful in the detection of biological compositions, including the development of multi-array gene chips. <IMAGE>

Abstract: When winding a paper web, in order to achieve a constant reeling layer thickness, which represents a significant quality parameter in the production process of paper, the line force or the web tension of the paper is corrected as an influencing force. Using measurements, the relationship between force and layer thickness is determined and used to set a controller. In winding devices, winding from the parent reel generally takes place on a winding station, so that the invention makes use of the relationship between the winding and unwinding operation to the effect that the change in the layer thickness is measured and these measured values are used to train a predictor. In continuous operation, in order to regulate a paper winding device, a measured variable which can be registered is measured, and this measured variable is used to determine the layer thickness change or another correlated quality parameter. In order to compensate for the dead time which arises as a result of the measurement, the predictor is supplied with the specified quality parameters and predicts precisely that variable which will result after the dead time has elapsed, so that in relation to the measurement, the predicted value corresponds to the actual measured value. This variable is used to form the control difference and is fed to the controller, which calculates from it the correction force with which the actual desired influencing force of the paper winding device is corrected.

Abstract: Actuellement, un connecteur électrique, destiné au réglage d'un actionneur et placé entre un potentiomètre, un servomoteur et une électronique de réglage, est composé de câbles électriques, ce qui implique un grand nombre de points de contact. Or chaque point de contact supplémentaire augmente le risque de défectuosité et dérègle le montage. Pour réduire le nombre de points de contact, le substrat du potentiomètre et la plaque de contact du moteur sont conçus d'une seule pièce sous la forme d'une plaque et les liaisons électriques sont constituées au moins en partie de conducteurs imprimés enrobés dans le substrat. Des composants électriques comme un self d'antiparasitage sont appliqués sur la plaque.

Abstract: A three-dimensional model is created to represent an environment to be captured on video. A camera is fitted with pan, tilt and/or zoom sensors. An operator selects a location in the environment. The three-dimensional model is used to determine the three-dimensional coordinates of the location selected by the operator. Information from the pan, tilt and/or zoom sensors is used to transform the three-dimensional coordinates to a two-dimensional position in the video from the camera. Using the two-dimensional position of the video, a graphic is properly added to the video such that the graphic appears to be at the selected location in the environment.

Abstract: A chaperone protein Q2 and β-amyloid can form a complex. This complex can be detected in a biological sample, such as, for example, tissues or fluids from a mammal. Q2 levels can also be detected in a biological sample. A method for determining the Q2 level in a biological sample and comparing that level to a normal Q2 level can be used to detect, screen, diagnose, or otherwise determine a person's susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease such as, for example, the presence or absence of Alzheimer's disease, of symptoms of this disease, of factors leading to or associated with this disease, of likelihood of developing this disease, and the like. In one embodiment, a decline in Q2 level correlates to an increased likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease. In another embodiment, a decline in Q2 level correlates to an increase in β-amyloid aggregation. The method may further include screening for an apolipoprotein E genotype, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease.
